10. Why be embarrassed?

Proudly state you're from Missouri and that you're fighting to bring real sanity back. People will learn how dumb the school prayer resolution was and will eventually fix it. And there's no way Akin wins, which means that Missouri stays just a bit more purple instead of going redder.

Actually, the Akin comments could hurt quite a few of the Repubs trying to court the independent vote. Anyone in a picture with him could be hurt come election time. Missouri could actually turn a bit more blue this election, especially if the Akin-Ryan connection is constantly pounded into every ones heads.
